PGA Tour Brunch - PGA Championship Notebook
Five-time major champion and 2005 PGA Championship winner Phil Mickelson holds a one-stroke lead and is looking to become the first player to win a men’s major championship after turning 50 years old. Mickelson is the fourth player to hold the 54-hole lead/co-lead in a major at age 50 or older during the modern era (1934-present).
Mickelson is 3-for-5 with the 54-hole lead/co-lead in major championships (21-for-36 in 72-hole PGA Tour events).
Sunday’s final pairing includes two players that have combined for nine major championship titles (Mickelson/5, Brooks Koepka/4). Koepka, the 2018 and 2019 PGA Championship winner, is one stroke back of Mickelson.
Koepka will attempt to win the same major three times in a four-year stretch. The last player to accomplish that feat was Tom Watson at The Open Championship (1980, 1982, 1983).
